Ugh, I hate the troll Meganium with double team and no damaging attacks. All my damaging attacks missed and I've been switching between my 2 Pokemon for like 50 turns now just waiting for it to struggle to death. -__-

Mwahaha! I will be on that leaderboard! My current team's at 63 straight wins, and I haven't faced any big problems yet. I'll post back with my final record and team details when my streak ends.

Hey Serebii, how you doing? Not sure how many of you guys from way back are out there, but just to let you know that I'm back, though I'm not sure how regularly I'll be on. Thanks for everything, and I hope I can continue to enjoy my time here!

Ok, so I got a 69 win streak, but no way of uploading proof yet. So you can either believe me, put me in the rankings and I'll post my team, or wait until saturday when I can upload proof

Regigigas is rly easy counter. I use my Lucario with close combat or aura sphere
possibly my Poliwrath with EQ

Yes, but that is competitive, not Battle Subway (which is what this thread is for).
I do agree that he has his weaknesses, but could be a nasty surprise if played right, especially since he'd be running slow, so Simple Beam would hit him first, then have him use Double Team (his only boosting move), and good luck touching him (Barring that can't miss Aura Sphere... is it even used in the Subway?).

Sets up rain, obviously, then toxic stalls. Encore is helpful for locking an opponent on a move such as amnesia then setting up with Poliwrath. Scald is quite powerful in rain and there's a chance to burn.

So, in summary, maybe I should have preserved politoed, but how was I to know he had an Abomasnow. Maybe if Politoed had better Sp.Atk IVs, it would have OHKO'd Mamoswine. It probaly would've done, but that'd have been hard to breed, it has 26 already. I suppose a bit of freezehax contributed too...

Hindsight is always 20/20. Nice streak, I'll get you added later today.

I know! And thanks

Hi, I've recently tried out a sunny day team in the super singles (Ninetales as lead and volcarona as setup sweeper). With that I tried using a Sizor to give some assistence as my two biggest fears, water and rock. However, this left me terribly open to counter fire types.

And final my sizor who's evs or ivs i cant remember at all but impish in nature, he is ev trained but not iv breed.
moves:
bullet punch
night slash
bug bite
sword dance

I realy want to keep my first two mons, and im asking for a suitable replacement for sizor, from what i've noticed so far, his main job will be to deal with rock types and other fire types, as water types hasn't proven that much of a nuisance in the sunny weather. Andvice, i mostly need a pokemon advice, but any further help (as to nature, evs and moves are also appreciated).

I forgot to mention, since I'm using sunny weather I fear that using a water type wont cut it, or am i wrong?

Well, sizor did work pretty good with the team as he could counter rock, and to some extent water, the main problem simply was other fire types. Ninetales with a fire attack and grass, and a volcarona with a fire and a bug type attack aren't going to be making any big holes in fire types (unless fully buffed, but then again, havn't I allready won then? :P)

I've tried replacing sizor with Garchomp, and had some success i guess, reached a 36 winning streak (still going), which is good for me, hopefully i can get it high enough to earn a place in the ranking hall in this thread

... my issue has landed in being unable to as of yet find someone to work with to acquire said 4th Gen Tutor'd Metang/Metagross (I have a Metang on my Diamond ready to trade to get taught, but not had any luck with aid).

So, I am looking for an alternative wall/staller, to use either after a U-Turn into a threat he can handle, or if one gets knocked out, to wear one down.

looks good, but be careful with the high jump kick cause it'll sometimes miss when you need it the most because its the subway.
